Wait, spike -  here's a useful wasp:

I had several tomato hornworms in my garden this summer, and all were affected by
these guys! :)  I left them alone, I want the next generation of wasp to do well.

Unfortunately, the hummingbird moth (whose caterpillar this is) is cool too, so I'm
in a quandry.
